Diarrhea is usually caused by the body dumping water into your intestines so I was wondering if holding it in would help with dehydration?
I currently have food poisoning so that’s why I thought of this.

Hopefully not. Diarrhea is used to flush bacteria and poisons out of the body. I guess if the body would regain the water it could also regain the bacteria.
Just drink a lot of water and let your body do the work it needs to do.
In case you question my credentials, I’m the developer of Diarrhea 4.
Thanks for that.

This fucking killed me thank you for it.
Diarrhea isn’t necessarily “used” by the body in all cases. With things like rotavirus and Vibrio (cholera) it’s caused by the infectious agent and aids in its spread. It can be so severe it kills the person via dehydration.
I thought diarrhea was (at least sometimes) caused by too many of your gut bacteria getting killed by fever so they can’t digest solids enough to extract the water.
Holy shit a poop game developed from misreading a Lemmy post this is hilarious! Reminds me of my all time favorite Sega genesis game Boogerman
1574m how’d I do, boss
Awesome!
Games a fun Lunar Lander-like but its too easy. I got up to 15 Liters of poo and just held the button down. Could be an interesting challenge if the screen didnt scroll back down and you had to get the powerups before you pass them
Yeah, I have a ton of ideas for improvements but no energy to implement them. My initial concept included aliens you’d aim your poo stream at to shoot them down.
